Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Cloud Strife 04

final fantasy vii advent children cosplay - cloud strife 04In the recent Anime Festival Asia 2009 where Alodia and Ashley Gosiengfiao represented Team Philippines, a famous cosplayer was among the judges and gave the sisters full marks, even though they didn’t win.

That cosplayer is known as Kaname. I recently found out that he is also the same cosplayer behind the other Cloud Strife I featured more than a year ago.

You have to admit, Kaname makes a very convincing Cloud. If anyone happens to know where his website is, I’d love to link his images back to him. Thank you!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Tifa Lockhart 02

final fantasy vii advent children cosplay - tifa lockhart 02Though she plays a more minor role in Advent Children than in Final Fantasy VII, Tifa did battle against Loz and later, against Bahamut SIN. She has shorter hair than her original character design mainly because animating long hair was proven to be quite difficult.

She looks like an older, more mature version of Rinoa to be honest. But I think a few people will get mad at me for saying that. Beautiful cosplay though! And the characters for the cosplayer’s name means “little fish”, Xiao Yu. Great cosplaying!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII: Noctis Lucis Caelum

final fantasy versus xiii cosplay - noctis lucis caelum

The "Sky of the Night Light", Noctis is the last Heir of the Caelum Dynasty and protects his city-state from those who seek the Crystals. The Crystals allow him to control his weapon by telekinesis, as they range from swords, to spears, to lances. He is said to be the first to break the mold of typical Final Fantasy protagonists' personalities, as he is idiosyncratic.

Beautiful cosplay! I've actually yet to play this game, or any of the Final Fantasy games for that matter, but I've always appreciated their art work. And it looks like the cosplayer put a lot of effort in the details of his sword too. Great job!

Final Fantasy X: Yuna 06

final fantasy x cosplay - yuna 05

Nomura Tetsuya designed Yuna with hibiscus flowers as her name depicts. Her name also means “night” so her weapons are empowered by the moon. Yuna also has heterochromia, which explains her different colored eyes; her blue eye comes from her half-Spiran bloodline and her green eye comes from her half-Al Bhed bloodline.

Beautiful cosplay! Good location too. I wonder if she had a hard time keeping her hair fixed? Thanks for sharing this!

Final Fantasy IX: Kuja

The main antagonist of Final Fantasy IX, Kuja is a gunrunner obsessed with power. He is narcissistic, flamboyant, and ruthless who is considered a classic villain due to his habit of monologuing. He is well versed in the arts and has a great fondness for classical works such as Lord Avon’s play, “I Want To Be Your Canary”.

Cosplayer Saya makes a beautiful Kuja. I cropped the original photo in order to focus the image on the cosplayer more. Thanks to Mini Mandy for sending this in!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII: Noctis Lucis Caelum 02

final fantasy versus xiii cosplay - noctis lucis caelum

A character whose personality is almost impossible to define, Noctis Lucis Caelum, or “Noct”, hides his shyness around Stella Nox Fleuret by acting “cool” when they first met. Unfortunately for him, however, this gave Stella a cold and unsociable first impression. He does, however, smile and becomes more open to those he is close with.

The effect of this is so nice! The photographer did a very good job of catching this shot at the right moment. Perfect pose from the cosplayer too! Thanks to Feret for sharing this!

EDIT: Thanks to Kaiyobi for letting me know this is *AmenoKitarou from Deviant Art! Please view the original deviation here.

D.N.Angel: Hiwatari Satoshi

d.n.angel cosplay - hiwatari satoshiThe police commander in charge of capturing Dark, Satoshi graduated from high school at the age of 8, and college at the age of 13. He enrolled in Daisuke’s middle school as he knew Diasuke was Dark’s alter ego. Although most people find him cold and distant, Daisuke insisted that they become friends.

This is Hagaren, the same cosplayer as X/1999’s Monou Fuma. When I first saw this on Deviant Art, I immediately fell in love with the photo, so I had to feature it here!


Please take note that Nanao's Cosplay Research may be closing down soon! New cosplays will be added on Cosplay Holic from now on. Thanks for everyone's support! Watch out for more cosplays here on Cosplay Holic!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Len

vocaloid 2 cosplay - hatsune miku and kagamine lenThe most popular Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku, is accompanied by a rather grown-up looking version of Kagamine Rin's "twin", Kagamine Len. It makes you wonder if Kaito will get jealous over this picture.

Then again, Len and Rin are supposedly "one and the same", aren't they? Where in the world could Rin be?

Vampire Knight: Ichijou Takuma 02

vampire knight cosplay - ichijou takuma 02A close friend of Shiki Senri and Touya Rima, Ichijou's grandfather allowed him to enter Cross academy so that he could spy on the pure blood, Kuran Kaname. Ichijou refused to follow his grandfather's orders out of loyalty, but when Kuran Rido possessed Shiki, he was forced to go against Kaname in order to protect his friends. He returns to Kaname's side once Shiki was freed, going so far as challenging his own grandfather to put an end to the Ichijou line.

Deviant Cosplayer *ac024, also known as Chen Mei Yi, makes a beautiful Ichijou. Thank you for sharing this with us! And we are most certainly looking forward to more of your cosplays soon!
